DMac note: I don't believe for a second this war is not being staged by the same evil doers that caused all this mess back in the 1990s. Both sides are being played.
Here is a bunch of info on what's going on:
'Civil War Unfolding In Kosovo' - Russia's Envoy To NATO: "May Spread To Europe Into World War"
Uploaded by RussiaToday on Sep 28, 2011
NATO peacekeepers in Kosovo have brought in more troops to a disputed border crossing in the ethnic Serb north, a day after several people were hurt in clashes. Both sides blame each other for starting the violence, which saw rubber bullets and tear gas used by Alliance forces. Anger rose in late July when Kosovan authorities tried to seize the frontiers to enforce a trade embargo. Peace analyst John Laughland says the region was doing fine until the EU stepped in.

NATO-Serb clash halt talks (http://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/n.php?n=nato-serb-clash-halt-talks-2011-09-28)
Following the clashes between Kosovo Serbians and NATO’s KFOR forces wounding 15 people, including one peacekeeper in severe condition, on Tuesday, the EU-mediated talks between Serbia and Kosovo halted until ‘the Serbia is ready to re-engage’ according to mediator. More KFOR was sent to border on Wednesday.
Violence between ethnic Serbs and NATO forces in northern Kosovo resulted in 15 wounded people Tuesday night and prompted Belgrade to cancel EU-mediated talks in Brussels aimed at improving cooperation in the flow of people and goods, property rights and personal documents.
The talks will resume “when the Serbian side is ready to re-engage,” said Robert Cooper, who mediates the talks on behalf of the European Union.
The situation was calm but tensions were still high Wednesday morning after a group of ethnic Serbians clashed with NATO’s Kosovo Force, or KFOR, on Tuesday in northern Kosovo, where seven Serbs and eight peacekeepers were wounded. On Wednesday an eyewitness said NATO troops reinforced their positions around the Jarinje border crossing, 100 kilometers from Kosovo’s capital Pristina, deploying armored vehicles, sandbags and barbed wire. NATO also warned it would use lethal force to protect its troops. NATO spokesman Lt. Col. Kai Gudenoge said Tuesday’s clash began when the Serbian protesters threw pipebombs at the peacekeepers and injured four. KFOR first reacted with rubber bullets but one peacekeeper used live bullets following a Serb protester’s attempt to grab his gun, Naim Rashiti, Balkans analyst from the International Crisis Group in Kosovo, told the Hürriyet Daily News. The condition of the Serb shot by peacekeepers was stable but one peacekeeper was in severe condition, said Rashiti quoting local media. Serbia refuses to recognize Kosovo’s 2008 declaration of independence.
‘Criminals cause violence’
Kosovo wants customs officers to push its claim for statehood in the north, but Serbia sees the move as undermining its claim over the territory. Hundreds of Serbs spent Tuesday night at the barricades following the clashes. The Kosovo government said they would stay firm to continue operating border control and customs gates in northern Kosovo. The Serbs who clashed with the KFOR on Tuesday were criminals using the ambiguity of the current situation for smuggling and trafficking, according to Deputy Prime Minister of Kosovo Edita Tahiri. “We believe our citizens, including Serbs, want to live under law and order,” Tahiri told Hürriyet Daily News. Oliver Ivanovic, a senior Serbian leader in Kosovo blamed the violence on U.S. peacekeepers. Serbian President Boris Tadic called for dialogue to avoid such clashes. Meanwhile, the Russian Foreign Ministry called on KFOR to respect neutrality and the “supremacy of the law.”

Orthodox Christian ghettoization and anti-Serb clampdown in Kosovo (http://serbianna.com/analysis/archives/962)

Lee Jay Walker, Modern Tokyo Times | If you reside in a parallel universe then welcome to Kosovo, the land of Albanianization and Islamization and all in the name of democracy. A flick back into history tells us that the Serbs were 98% of the population of Kosovo 600 years ago but today the Orthodox Christian Serbs are between 6% and 8% depending on various figures.
Of course, the Kosovo Serbs became a minority because of the ravages of the Ottoman Empire, dhimmitude, Islamization, and Albanian support of fascism during the German Nazi period. Communism in the old Yugoslavia was the final nail in the coffin because Albanian long-term objectives became a reality and this applies to immigration and other important areas. However, this reality is ignored and instead the dehumanization of the Kosovo Serbs goes hand in hand in this parallel universe.
